generation hull calculationsoftware launched

DNV GL’s Nauticus Hull software
has been given a major upgrade to provide improved support for the new DNV GL
rules and IACS requirements. The software covers DNV GL rules for classification
of ships and IACS Common Structural Rules for bulk carriers and oil tankers with
capabilities ranging from simplified rule-check and scantling calculations to
advanced tools for finite element structural analysis.

"We are very pleased to see
Nauticus Hull V20 go live," said Mr Geir Dugstad, Director of
Classification at DNV GL - Maritime. "With this new version, we have a very
efficient rule calculation tool on the market. Nauticus Hull V20 enables
increased approval efficiency, quality and superior design support, and is
another big step in making the DNV GL rules the industry’s preferred
standard."

With new ship rules and IACS
requirements increasing the scope of hull design, efficient rule calculation
tools are essential in the design development for documentation of rule
compliance. Nauticus Hull V20 has a new modern user interface with powerful
modelling and rule check capabilities. The hull scantling design programme
"Section Scantlings" has been completely renewed with modelling,
analysis and result viewer integrated into one user environment. In addition,
new functionality for prescriptive cross section calculations has been added—including
bow impact, ice class, and connection area requirements.

The new version has been developed
in cooperation with major shipyards and ship design companies to gain a better
understanding of user requirements. This has allowed DNV GL to work with
designers and approval engineers to smooth out any barriers to efficient use of
the tool. Over the next development cycle, DNV GL will continue to expand the
software’s functionality and streamline work process for the different ship
types.

Nauticus Hull V20 is available now
to all customers with a valid support agreement. Training courses are offered
worldwide to bring users up to speed on the latest software features, said a
release.
